YaBB 2.6 has dozens of new features and code/stability improvements. It is also data-compatible with the YaBB 3.0/Next flatfile system, so we will be testing with a mirror of the data from this server. We are already up and ensuring things are workable. The Live Beta will be closed, but everyone is welcome. There are constraints on things like duplicate usernames and e-mail addresses that I need to 'think around'.

There will be a 're-registration' process that will be detailed. That protocol will ensure security and allow us to do robust testing (with a 'real'/large data set.)
